I'm waiting for my delivery today. I'm getting Koala sewing furniture. It will be the first time in my life that I will not be sewing on a card table, the kitchen table, or a long folding table. Also I recently purchased an Ellisimo by Babylock and a surger. In the past years of sewing it's been machines either given to me, which I've had to have fixed so I could use them, and a little portable machine I bought at a yard sale for $15.oo. This is also my first surger. It's about time, I'm 64 and wish this was possible almost that many years ago. Ask me if I'm excited! And yes I am so grateful.

How exciting for you! I bet you are so anxious waiting for this to arrive and get it all set up :D:D:D

HOORAY for you! :thumbup: I'm excited for you! And, of course, we'll be looking for pictures here after you get everything set up! Congratulations! ;) ;) ;)

I know how you feel about your Koala furniture. I treated myself to mine with some of my inheritance after looking after my mom & her husband for about 4 years. Its a nice reminder every time I sew. Congratulations! Enjoy :thumbup:

Woohoo! I have Horn furniture - what a difference it will make to have your sewing machine at the right height and recessed. You will really enjoy it.

Sounds like Santa is making an early deliver to your house - enjoy

I have a Koala sewing center too and LOVE it. Though it wasn't fun getting it upstairs!

I'm very happy for you.! I've seen videos of Koala furniture and love the way the drawers close.

I am sooo very happy for you!

Thanks for your wonderful happiness for me. I knew I'd find like mindedness here. I really don't know where else to go that would appreciate my state of mind!

What exactly is a serger. I have seen them in stores, but don't know what they do.

:hunf: :mrgreen: :XD: :-P :thumbup:
congratulations!!!! I hope to have some someday.

How exciting!

Very good! Lucky you!

Congrats on your new machine Pics??

I would love to have some Koala furniture, but one thing at a time I guess. Maybe some day down the road, for now I guess I should be thankful for what I have.

A serger has been used for basic finishing of seams for garment making but in the last few years several other uses has emerged. There are now more stitches to select from and craft use has shown a whole new side to serging. I've seen crazy quilts made with only using a serger.

:thumbup: :lol:

I am also very happy for you!

Sounds better than Christmas,enjoy!!!

Oh I can feel your excitement!! Doing the happy dance with you!!!

I am thrilled for you!! Please send us pictures.

Woo hooo! Enjoy, you sure deserve it!

WOW! That would be exactly my dream furniture/machine!

Congratulations, you will love your sewing furniture. It makes you feel special, and you are.

I am so excited for you. Please post pics when you get it all set up.

I am excited for you! How wonderful!

That is so exciting. I have looked at Koala furniture and would love to have some, but price is beyond my reach at this time.

I am very happy & excited for you! You will really love both. My Bernie sets down into a Horn cabinet & I just love it. The Koala is wonderful. Please take pics as soon as you can to share with us.

sent message two time by mistake

Surging is addictive. I am crazy about mine. But alas, I sew in the kitchen on the table. Enjoy your furniture.

How exciting !!!!

Ooohhhh!!!! I am so jealous!! I first saw Koala at a Babyloc store...then another store had Horn. Hate the green stripe growing down my back...green with envy! LOL!!
Enjoy and look forward to pics!! (Imagine...a place for everything and everything in it's place!! It must be heaven!!)

How great!!! Congratulations to you. You deserve it. I am alot like you - most machine are inherited/hand-me-downs.

Did you order the plastic insert that is made for your particular machine so you will be sewing flat? If not, call your local sewing machine store and see if you can order one. You will see a jump in the quality of your work, it makes a difference in having your work flat.

It sounds like an early Christmas at your house! Congrats and have FUN!

Congratulations. You are blessed.

Isn't that the best, a new sewing center & new machine? That's wonderful.Hope we get to see pics of the set up.I agree,mature ladies are very thankful for what we have.

Very exciting!!! Enjoy!!! :)
